Hello fellow chicketdees. I have not disappeared. I have been heavily burden by my work load. School has ended and now I have free time to do whatever I want without worrying about school for 3 months. I plan on doing a lot more this summer than I ever have previously. I feel that I have really found my drive to do this year. I don't know why though. I have uploaded some black and white photos I took this year. I really enjoyed that class; I am so sad that it is over. I thought that class was going to be a breeze. How wrong I was! Not only did I have to watch the exposure of the pictures I was taken I also had to do the same for the photo paper. I never knew that photography had so much going on, none the less I had a wonderful time. I think I will have to purchase a film camera and start a hobby.

I also was taking a second level painting class. I don't think I have ever worked so hard in my life. I was a slave to my canvas over the course of the semester. The paints turned out better than I had inticipated. The first one was so so but the other two were like they weren't even mine. I have to go back and fix somethings on them, but I am eckstatic at the result. I will be putting at least two of my paintings up soon. I am glad that I can take a breather for a while if I want. I am hoping that I can keep up with my journals.

If your wondering about the title, that just describes my surroundings. lol
